I blame John Hughes for making you believe that proclaiming your love would get you anyplace other than that “friend zone” you refer to in an earlier post.

Say Anything, indeed. Damn him. Damn him to hell!

I wish I could hate John Hughes to death!

Oh the pineapple was such a cute touch…
You know despite your mishaps and mess-ups one day you will make a nerdy girl very happy. I just hope that she is hot enough to melt the snow, and nerdy enough to discuss the complications of imaginary and complex numbers with you.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a quote about love making you silly enough to give girls pineapples despite my firm belief that someone must have done that before, so I simply say to you, “Thou shalt not love by ways so dangerous” you might get hurt.

A pineapple. And a Haiku.

Wow. That was brave of you to share. How gut-wrenching that must have been to give to her. I could feel it reading it. I cannot WAIT to know what happened next.

Lovely Haiku. Not to put it down, but just wanted to point out the minor misuse of “you’re” in the fifth quatrain. But, the pining heart is allowed at least one grammatical mistake.

Keep posting! I really like reading your blog!

By: Justin

Justin — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 23:00:34 +0000

Scott: Fixed. Thanks. Chalk it up to the fact that I can barely stand to look at the thing now. No way in hell that was in the version I gave to her, trust me.

that’s it??? you are an evil person to leave a cliffhanger like that!!!!

what happens next???!!! you’re killing us!!

great poem, btw. not too sappy. just funny and touching enough. and i’m not a poetry girl!

btw, was the pineapple whole? or sliced? weird question,i know. but pineapples are very watery, so if it was sliced, and in a bag, i am wondering if it was sticky and leaky. because that would be hilarious. and only add to your charming awkwardness. :)

oh… my goodness… justin? guys like you really exist in this space and time? seriously, i think i’m on my way to falling for you. (awkward smile as i look at the spot on my tennis shoe.)

Well, I said after last post that the “Friday night that no one planned” was more your fault than hers. I suppose reading this that you knew that all along.

Good to see that you tried to regain control over the situation. Because remember, ;) women cannot be trusted with these flirtatious and semi-platonic feelings.

My friend and I were arguing whether there was actually such a thing as “awkward cute.” I had problems coming up with examples of cute awkward boys. I typed in something along the lines of “awkward cute boy” into google and found your site. I won.

elkylos: john hughes did not write or direct “say anything.” cameron crowe did. get your eighties movie references right.
justin: a haiku would win my heart any day.

Pineapple? What about the exploitation of lush lands in Central america (or Hawaii for that matter…). I like the idea of getting a native fruit instead of flowers, but what about native flowers? What about that roses come from Ecuador. Would she have accepted South American Roses? :p

I was just introduced to your blog today, and I think that I have spent nearly the whole day reading it. You must continue on with this story. I have to know what happens next. The suspense might actually kill me. Plus, I think that I might be in love with you… :D

Awesome! I wish i could add a very profound and sincere praise to your writings! But i will never find the right words to make it sound that way cause my English vocabulary sucks! In fact i stumbled across here typing ‘ackward’ in google to find out the right spelling for ‘awkward’. Then i clicked the ‘Do you mean : awkard’ link to look up its meaning because i still wasn’t sure it was the correct word. Great blog! Excuse my blabbering.

Although, I may just have better self-censorship skills, you are definitely the voice in my head. I just started from chapter 1… It makes my “Not-quite-there-yet” relationship with Hot Project Manager so much easier to bare ;-)

My, my, my. That certainly is a very tactful and splendidly written poem, if in common and popular English! If I were her, I’d have fallen for it. Mind you I don’t have a boyfriend so I can say that pretty easily xD
